Topsort also offers a “Self-Service Payments” capability through Stripe. This allows vendors to manage their own payments, track spending, and view billing information, while marketplaces benefit from automated payment workflows and transparent reporting. Vendors are charged when they reach a set credit limit or at the end of a billing cycle, with Topsort integrating with Stripe for transactions.
You need a Stripe account to use this capability.
